Meanwhile. Mrs. Price said she
doesn't mind occasional fishing or
shelling along the island's beachfront
by area residents, but she cautioned
that the island is not open to the
nuhlic
Island Is Private
While "it has never been our intention
to give it away," she said, she
would never develop in a manner inconsistent
with her 83-year-old husband's
desires. He has always loved
the beach and privacy. My interests
wili be in protecting that."
In fact, she's considering legai action
against a local realty firm that
lias included the privately-owned
island >n a list nf amenities featured
in a brochure promoting Sunset
Beach.
Expensive Venture
If Bird island were ever developed
commercially. It would lie a smallscale,
expensive and time-consuming
project, indicate representatives of
the N.C. Office of Coastal Management
and the U.S. Army Corps ol
Engineers.
For purposes of the 1982 Coastal
Barrier Resources Act, Bird Island
has been designated undeveloped,
according to spokesman Katherinc
Skinner of the U.S. House of
Representatives Committee on Mercliant
Murine and Fisheries.
(Tile purpose of the act was to
reduce investment of federal funds ir,
a high-risk area, to minimize loss of
human life and damage to fish,
wildlife and other natural
resources.I
Tills means that federal funds
would nui in: uvdiidua n? iiiii ?~i COHstruction
oi facilities such as a bridge
or sewer system. Property owners
could not gel federal flood insurance
Getting the designation changed
would be difficult, she said. There is
another alternative.
"If they come up witli their own
capital, tliey can do about what they
want," Ms. Skinner indicated.
At one time the island had a functioning
well, electrical service and a
narrow causeway road. "It can be
done if they can get over the access
hurdle, but it would l>c c-_-t!y and
time-consuming, said Hob Moul,
Wilmington field representative for
the N.C. Office of Coastal Management.
Mollis said much of the fill remains
along lite elevated causeway huilt
years ago by Price. More fill could be
twVtlml where till remains, but
nowhere else. "It would be one-lane
in several places," he added.
"The question is, 'Is the island
developable'1' lie continued. "If
somebody went at it in a prudent
milliner it could he done without exorbitant
expense. In my opinion."

Discussion C
Brunswick County planning Board
members will consider a possible
change in policy at their Jan. SS
meeting that would require all
developers to present in person
preliminary plat proposals to the
board tor approval.
According to Assistant County
Manager John Harvey, a pattern has
emerged among board members.
They tend, he said, "to follow a
subliminal policy of deferring action
on preliminary plat proposals
until representatives of the applicants
are present at the meeting.
"Generally, such deferrals have
been in those cases where nijestinns
have been posed, hut occasionally
such a deferral has been simply for
the reason no one was Dresent as
spokesman," Harvey noted on the
agenda of the board's Dec. 20
meeting. "It has been suggested the
beard discuss this matter and if, indeed,
it is intent, then declare the
let ins of such policy ana iei persons
in the development business know of
such policy' "
County Commission Chairman
Chris Chappell, cx-officio member on
the planning board, recommended an
examination of ihe policy and re
quested it be on the agenda of '.he
Dec. 22 meeting. However, a motion
was unanimously passed to delay
discussion of the change in policy until
ihc regular January meeting.
The board held its December
meeting at the Calabash town hall,
followed by a Christmas dinner at a
local restaurant Only one plat proposal
needed action at the meeting.
